The sons of Jerahmeel the firstborn of Hezron: Jerahmeel is identified as the firstborn of Hezron, a descendant of Judah, which places him within the lineage of the tribe of Judah, a significant tribe in Israel's history. This lineage is important as it connects to the genealogy of King David and ultimately to Jesus Christ, fulfilling the prophecy of the Messiah coming from the tribe of Judah. Hezron is a grandson of Judah, and his descendants are part of the genealogical records that establish the heritage and tribal affiliations of the Israelites. Ram his firstborn: Bunah: Oren: Ozem: And Ahijah: Persons / Places / Events 1. JerahmeelThe firstborn son of Hezron, a descendant of Judah.

Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah Other sons of Jerahmeel, each contributing to the genealogical record of the tribe of Judah. Teaching Points The Importance of Genealogy in ScriptureGenealogies in the Bible are not mere lists of names; they demonstrate God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises through generations. They remind us of the continuity of God's plan and His sovereignty over history. God's Faithfulness Across Generations The mention of Jerahmeel and his sons underscores the faithfulness of God in preserving the lineage of Judah, which is crucial for the coming of the Messiah. This encourages us to trust in God's faithfulness in our own lives and families. The Role of Family in God's Plan The genealogies highlight the significance of family in God's redemptive plan. Each family member, though sometimes only briefly mentioned, plays a part in the unfolding of God's purposes. This teaches us to value our own roles within our families and communities. Legacy and Spiritual Heritage The passage encourages us to consider the legacy we are leaving for future generations. Are we contributing to a spiritual heritage that honors God and points others to Christ?(25) Ram the firstborn.--Not the same as the Ram, brother of Jerahmeel, of 1Chronicles 2:9. (See Note at end of section.) And Ahijah.--This is probably a mistake, as the conjunction is wanting in the Hebrew. The LXX. has, "his brother" the Hebrew for which might easily be misread Ahijah. So the Syriac and Arabic read, "and Ozem their sister." But the statement of 1Chronicles 2:26, "Jerahmeel had also another wife," &c., makes it likely that the first wife was mentioned here; and, therefore, it is conjectured that Ahijah--usually a man's name--is the former wife; and that the right reading is "from Ahijah," which requires merely the restoration of the prefix m (me-Ahiyah), which has fallen out, as in other instances, after the m of Ozem immediately preceding. Verses 25-41. - We reach here the second interruption in the account of Caleb's posterity. (A) Jerahmeel, though the eldest Hezronite son, has as yet been passed by in favour of Ram and in favour of Caleb, so far as regards part of his descendants. Jerahmeel himself is mentioned nowhere else, but his people collectively are (1 Samuel 27:10; 1 Samuel 30:29). On the other hand, this place alone supplies the lists of names, and we have not the aid of any collation. Ver. 25 purports in the Authorized Version to give five sons of Jerahmeel by his first wife, of name not given. The absence of the conjunction "and," however, in the Hebrew text before the last name, Ahijah, suggests that this may be the name of the first wife the presence of which seems greatly required by the contents of the next verse. Some particle being required, Le Clerc, accepting the suggestion of Junins and Tremellius, proposes to supply מֵאֵת, and Bertheau the same preposition, but in a simpler form, prefixed to the name Ahijah (see Barrington's 'Genealogies,' 1:180).Parallel Commentaries ...
